+# 2161. Partition Array According to Given Pivot
+
+[LeetCode Link](https://leetcode.com/problems/partition-array-according-to-given-pivot/)
+
+Difficulty: Medium
+Topics: Array, Two Pointers, Simulation
+Acceptance Rate: 90.1%
+
+## Hints
+
+### Hint 1
+
+This problem is really a *stable partition*. Notice the three buckets that the
+result must contain, in order: elements `< pivot`, then elements `== pivot`,
+then elements `> pivot`. Whenever you see "group items into ordered categories
+while preserving relative order," think about a single linear scan that decides
+which bucket each element belongs to.
+
+### Hint 2
+
+You only need to make decisions based on a comparison with `pivot`: less,
+equal, or greater. Since the relative order *within* the "less" group and
+*within* the "greater" group must be preserved, you cannot sort the array —
+sorting would destroy that original ordering. Instead, walk the array in its
+original order and append each element to the correct group.
+
+### Hint 3
+
+The "equal to pivot" elements are all identical, so you never need to store
+them — you only need to **count** how many there are. So one pass can build a
+"less than" list (in order) and a "greater than" list (in order) and a count of
+pivots. The answer is simply: the less-than list, followed by `count` copies of
+the pivot, followed by the greater-than list. You can even do this in place with
+two pointers writing from the front for the "less" group and from the back for
+the "greater" group.
+
+## Approach
+
+We need a stable three-way partition around `pivot`. Sorting is off the table
+because it would reorder elements that compare equal in our three-way sense but
+differ in value (e.g. `9` and `5` are both `< 10` and must keep their order).
+
+A clean linear approach uses **two pointers writing into the result**:
+
+1. Allocate a result slice of the same length `n`.
+2. Keep a write index `left` starting at `0` (the next slot for a "less than"
+   element) and a write index `right` starting at `n-1` (the next slot for a
+   "greater than" element).
+3. Scan `nums` left to right. For each value `< pivot`, place it at
+   `result[left]` and increment `left`. This preserves the relative order of the
+   smaller elements because we encounter and place them in their original order.
+4. Scan `nums` right to left in a second loop. For each value `> pivot`, place it
+   at `result[right]` and decrement `right`. Scanning from the right and writing
+   from the right keeps the greater elements in their original relative order.
+5. Every index strictly between the final `left` and `right` belongs to a pivot
+   value. Fill `result[left..=right]` with `pivot`.
+
+Why it works: after the first loop, slots `0..left-1` hold all smaller elements
+in order. After the second loop, slots `right+1..n-1` hold all larger elements
+in order. The remaining middle slots count exactly the number of elements equal
+to the pivot, so we fill them with `pivot`.
+
+Walking through Example 1, `nums = [9,12,5,10,14,3,10]`, `pivot = 10`:
+
+- Less-than pass collects `9, 5, 3` into front slots → `[9,5,3,_,_,_,_]`.
+- Greater-than pass (right to left) sees `10(skip),3(skip... no, <),14(>),...]`
+  collecting `14, 12` from the back, but written back-to-front so they land as
+  `... 12, 14` → `[9,5,3,_,_,12,14]`.
+- The middle two slots get the pivot → `[9,5,3,10,10,12,14]`. ✓
+
+An equivalent and perhaps more obviously-correct alternative is the
+**three-bucket** method: build a `less` slice, count `equal`, build a `greater`
+slice in one pass, then concatenate `less + equalCopies + greater`. Same time and
+space complexity; pick whichever reads more clearly to you. The implementation
+uses the two-pointer in-place-style write because it avoids extra slice
+allocations beyond the single result.
+
+## Complexity Analysis
+
+Time Complexity: O(n) — a constant number of linear passes over `nums`.
+Space Complexity: O(n) — for the returned result array. (This is unavoidable
+since we must return a rearranged array; no extra space is used beyond the
+output.)
+
+## Edge Cases
+
+- **All elements equal to the pivot**: e.g. `[5,5,5]`, `pivot = 5`. The
+  less-than and greater-than passes write nothing, and the entire array is filled
+  with the pivot. The two write pointers must correctly leave the whole range to
+  the middle.
+- **No elements equal to the pivot beyond required**: the constraint guarantees
+  `pivot` appears at least once, so the middle region is never empty, but the
+  code should still behave if the less/greater groups are empty.
+- **All elements less than the pivot** (or all greater): one group fills the
+  front (or back) and the rest is pivots. Verify pointers don't overlap
+  incorrectly.
+- **Single element array**: `[x]` with `pivot = x`. Result is just `[x]`.
+- **Negative numbers**: values can be negative (down to `-10^6`); comparisons
+  must use the raw integer values, not absolute values.
+- **Large input (up to 10^5)**: the O(n) approach handles this comfortably;
+  anything involving sorting or nested scans risks being slower than necessary.

+# 2161. Partition Array According to Given Pivot
+
+You are given a **0-indexed** integer array `nums` and an integer `pivot`. Rearrange `nums` such that the following conditions are satisfied:
+
+  * Every element less than `pivot` appears **before** every element greater than `pivot`.
+  * Every element equal to `pivot` appears **in between** the elements less than and greater than `pivot`.
+  * The **relative order** of the elements less than `pivot` and the elements greater than `pivot` is maintained. 
+    * More formally, consider every `pi`, `pj` where `pi` is the new position of the `ith` element and `pj` is the new position of the `jth` element. If `i < j` and **both** elements are smaller (_or larger_) than `pivot`, then `pi < pj`.
+
+
+
+Return `nums` _after the rearrangement._
+
+ 
+
+**Example 1:**
+    
+    
+    **Input:** nums = [9,12,5,10,14,3,10], pivot = 10
+    **Output:** [9,5,3,10,10,12,14]
+    **Explanation:** 
+    The elements 9, 5, and 3 are less than the pivot so they are on the left side of the array.
+    The elements 12 and 14 are greater than the pivot so they are on the right side of the array.
+    The relative ordering of the elements less than and greater than pivot is also maintained. [9, 5, 3] and [12, 14] are the respective orderings.
+    
+
+**Example 2:**
+    
+    
+    **Input:** nums = [-3,4,3,2], pivot = 2
+    **Output:** [-3,2,4,3]
+    **Explanation:** 
+    The element -3 is less than the pivot so it is on the left side of the array.
+    The elements 4 and 3 are greater than the pivot so they are on the right side of the array.
+    The relative ordering of the elements less than and greater than pivot is also maintained. [-3] and [4, 3] are the respective orderings.
+    
+
+ 
+
+**Constraints:**
+
+  * `1 <= nums.length <= 105`
+  * `-106 <= nums[i] <= 106`
+  * `pivot` equals to an element of `nums`.
